Abstract:
In present work, the wetting behavior of carbon fiber andAl–Mgalloys (up to 17 wt.%) from 700°C to 1000°C was investigated by sessile drop method. Below 900°C, the contact angles decreased slightly with increase of temperature regardless ofMgamount. However, the contact angles decreased sharply at elevated temperature (above 900°C). Moreover, below 900°C, the contact angles decreased slightly with holding time, and significant decrease of contact angle with increase of holding time was found above 1000°C. All contact angle-holding time curves at 1000°C demonstrated three kinetic stages. It is observed that the contact angles decreased withMgamount regardless of wetting temperature. The addition ofMgelement will inhabit the nucleation and growth ofAl4C3phase, which is unfavorable to the wetting behavior. However, the addition ofMgelement will also decrease the surface energy, which demonstrates dominant effect and leads to the decrease of contact angles.
